Data Security
AAN Student Loan Program takes security very seriously and has
therefore taken every precaution to secure our borrowers information. In
order to secure the users information, AAN Student Loan Program
has implemented several security measures to prevent loss, theft, or misuse
of any borrower data.
When borrowers use features on the AAN Student Loan Program website that involves the transferring of personal information, AAN Student Loan Program requires that a secure connection first be established using 128-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. During a secure SSL session, data passed back and forth between the user's computer and AAN Student Loan Program's servers is secured through the use of public key cryptography. The user's computer exchanges key information with AAN Student Loan Program's computers to create a private conversation that only the user's computer and AAN Student Loan Program's systems may understand. The U.S. government regulates 128-bit encryption; it can only be used by citizens and permanent residents of the United States and Canada. To benefit from this security and to use many of the features on the AAN Student Loan Program site you will need to download a 128-bit enabled browser from Microsoft, Netscape, or another software company.
In addition to using 128-bit encryption in the browser, all account numbers that are stored in AAN Student Loan Program's databases are encrypted.
Each time you enter a secure connection while using the AAN Student Loan Program Student Loan Consolidations website your browser will notify you, unless the feature has been turned off. Please note that if you have left a secure connection all data sent to AAN Student Loan Program is over an unsecure connection.
When a user sends e-mail messages to AAN Student Loan Program, the return address may be used to respond to the inquiry. The content and address contained in the message will be permanently recorded so that it can be referenced in future communications between the borrower and AAN Student Loan Program. Email is not a secure means of transmitting information.
